Special Project. The purpose of the Special Project is to examine the potential conservation benefits of transporting coho salmon and possibly other salmonids around barriers to spawning and rearing habitat. Green Diamond proposes to undertake a 10-year project that will entail trapping coho salmon in a stream with a barrier to spawning and rearing habitat, transporting them around the barrier during spawning season, and monitoring subsequent spawning, rearing, and out-migration. Prior to undertaking the project, Green Diamond will evaluate the selected stream based on criteria specified in the Plan to determine that salmonids residing in the basin above the barrier will not be adversely affected by the project.
